Scientific and reasonable testing cycle for anti fall devices

As a protective tool for high-altitude workers, we need to pay attention to the quality of the anti fall device, and systematic testing is a necessary step. So, what is the scientifically reasonable testing period for anti fall devices? Next, Guanhang will take you to understand.

According to the national standard GB/Z 15938-2012 "Fall Arresters", the testing cycle for fall arresters is one year. It is necessary to conduct a yearly inspection on the used or stored anti fall devices. However, in an ideal situation, the frequency of use of fall arresters may vary, so the testing cycle may also differ. For frequently used fall arresters, it is recommended to conduct a test every six months. At the same time, for fall arresters that have not been used for a long time or stored improperly, they should also be tested to ensure that they still have safe and reliable performance.

After a period of use and storage, the anti fall device may experience issues such as wear, rust, and excessive stress, which directly affect its effectiveness. If the anti fall device is damaged or fails, the consequences of a high-altitude falling accident will be unimaginable. Therefore, periodic detection of anti fall devices is an indispensable step.
